this idea was quickly patented and the copyrighted name victrola was given to this new invention the term victrola thus applies only to internal horn phonographs made by the victor talking machine company and is not a generic term for all old phonographs the first internal horn phonograph initially designated as the victor victrola was marketed in 1906
How the phonograph works. The first audio recorded and played back was Edison saying the nursery rhyme, âMary Had a Little Lamb.â. Edison soon got bored with the invention and did not do much with it for the next several years. Other inventers soon discovered the great invention and began to work with it themselves. In 1886, one of these men was a man by the name of Charles Sumner Tainter of the Alexander Graham Bell Company.
